First Friday formed in South Bend in 1968 while band members were Notre Dame students, offering an appealing blues-rock sound. One album was released in 1970 on Chuck Perrin’s Webster’s Last Word label; Perrin also served as producer. With only 500 copies pressed, it has become an expensive collector’s item, especially without a proper reissue. The band’s name originated with a stack of First Friday event flyers promoting a monthly mass event in the dorm chapel; the band used the flyers instead to promote themselves. While there are no other releases from First Friday, a second album was recorded in 1970 for King Records in Nashville, but not released. A reunion CD from 1997 was also recorded, but not released. The band reunites annually for performances. Guitarist Norm Zeller went to play with Undisputed Truth, Natalie Cole and others. Zeller and Wallace performed on Chuck and Mary Perrin’s Next of Kin LP.
